ABOUT SHARED HARVEST
Shared Harvest Foundation trains and mobilizes volunteers and community health partners (CHP) to provide immediate disaster relief, care management and guidance through national disasters in order to support organizations serving vulnerable communities. We work in both disaster response and long-term recovery to ensure nonprofits have the resources they need to maximize their impact.
We develop innovative, data-driven solutions that leverage technology to enhance capacity building and address the social drivers of health. Our platforms are designed to improve the well-being of our frontline workforce, amplify their voices, and advance financial mobility. By integrating cutting-edge technology, with empathy-driven development, we reduce burnout and enhance the effectiveness of our interventions.
​
In our quest to advance health equity, we emphasize the power of trusted networks and champion a culturally informed, diverse workforce. At Shared Harvest, we believe that true strength lies in the durability of our collective effort and the diversity of our collaboration. Together, we strive to advance health equity—one act of social good at a time, building a healthier, more resilient future for all.
"Health equity does not exist without digital equity. When we reimagine the tools that break down barriers to access and build human-centric solutions, we don’t just support a workforce—we build a more just and resilient healthcare system that serves everyone."

FINANCIAL FREEDOM :
BREAKING THE DEBT BARRIER
Our financial equity efforts focus on closing the intergenerational wealth gap by addressing and eliminating student loan debt. We believe that financial health is essential for overall well-being, and our programs are designed to relieve financial stress, fostering a sense of social responsibility and empower individuals and communities to work collaboratively.

By alleviating these pressures, we empower a new generation to lead lives marked by wellness and purpose.
